Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks called out what he believed were "horrible" baseballs that came out of the humidor at Coors Field during Friday's 10-7 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
Fairbanks came on in the ninth with the Rays up 7-6 and allowed three straight walks before making way for Jason Adam. After the game, the right-hander said the baseballs he was given on the mound weren't up to his liking and "overall bad," citing a general inconsistency.
The Rockies have long utilized a humidor at Coors Field to help counteract the effects of the high altitude in Denver.
